Layered Thoughts Valentine Fun Fold

Layered Thoughts Valentine Fun Fold

Sometimes, there are items in your craft collection that work for more than one purpose. And, that’s definitely a win! Today, I use a sentiment from Stampin’ Up!’s Layered Thoughts Photopolymer Stamp Set to create a Valentine fun fold card. The “Love” sentiment fits perfectly for this occasion. Find this stamp set in Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. I’ve used it to create a variety of birthday, thank you and thinking of you cards. So I’m glad to stretch this set even more.

Stampin' Up! Layered Thoughts Stamp Set

I pair the sentiment with Stampin’ Up!’s Made With Love 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. Find this Valentine-themed paper in Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2026 Mini Catalog.

I love to combine this sentiment stamp set with other current Stampin’ Up! product. Today, I use the Days Like This Memories & More Card Pack.  This set of 54 pastel butterfly-themed cards in 3″ x 4″ and 4″ x 6″ sizes features soft hues, delicate winged motifs, and subtle patterns. Perfect for pocket scrapbooking and heartfelt card fronts, these ready-to-use designs add effortless charm to any project.

In this post, I share card samples using the two products together. Be sure to watch the video below to see all of the samples; I also give step-by-step directions for creating two of the cards.

Details and Measurements (Hello Card)

  • Pool Party cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
  • Flirty Flamingo cardstock measuring 5 1/4 x 4
  • Three pieces of coordinating cards from the Days Like This Memories & More Card Pack each measuring 1 1/2 x 3 3/4

  • Butterfly card die cut with Stylish Shape circle
  • Hello sentiment from Fabulous Sayings stamp set stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink

Here’s another sample. I stamped the sentiment from the Fabulous Sayings set directly onto one of the cards that I trimmed down. Layered on another of the cards from the back and attached to Pool Party base. Added gems and linen thread.

Isn’t this next one so pretty? The preprinted cards so all of the work for you. Just add a sentiment and some ribbon and you’re good to go. This cards uses Secret Sea card stock.
